Made In Prison
Where creativity meets second chances
Made In Prison is a special initiative by PrisonFriendship.com that gives incarcerated individuals a chance to be seen for their talent, not their sentence. It’s a space where art, craftsmanship, and words come together — each creation telling a story of growth, healing, and hope.
Through their paintings, handmade goods, and personal writings, these men and women are rebuilding from the inside out. They use creativity not only as a form of expression, but as a bridge — connecting with the world beyond the walls, easing the burden on their families, and proving that purpose can be found even in the hardest places.
By visiting Made In Prison, you’re becoming part of something bigger — a movement that believes in opportunity, redemption, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
Made in Prison: Creativity, Voice, and Opportunity
Made in Prison brings together three ways to engage with work created by people living in confinement. In the Prison Shop, you’ll find handmade items that give individuals a chance to build skills, support themselves, and work toward positive change. The Art Gallery features drawings and paintings that show personal expression and disciplined craft. Through our Blogs, writers share their experiences and perspectives from inside.
Together, these spaces offer an honest look at the abilities, work, and voices of incarcerated individuals.
